Not on a SIDI,
But on my LY7,
When I purchased my Adventra, I did notice it idling a little rough,
And notice with the cruise control on,
It felt like it was a little hesitant, say at 100 km/h. (Freeway driving)
After cleaning the injectors, it did idle much better and drive a lot smoother with the cruise control on,
Whether that’s anything to go by on a LY7,
But it worked for me.

PS: car was service up to 113,000 k’s in the books by the PO's,
After that I have no service history of it,
Whether they had been replaced and/or cleaned, I will never know.

I just replaced injectors, coils and plugs on my VZ Executive. (Due to injector fault code) the parts are so cheap now why bother cleaning them? A little over a hundred Bucks for the lot. Really we don't know how lucky we are, if it was a Euro car it would be thousands. Anyway my VZ daily driver runs like a Swiss watch.
